Question

A 0.700 kg glider is attached to the end of a smooth track by a horizontal spring of spring constant 21.0 N/m. At time t = 0, the glider is displaced 15.0 cm from its equilibrium position and released from rest so that it oscillates back and forth on the track. a) What is the gliders position at a time equal to one-eighth of the oscillator's period? {0.106 m} b) What is the glider's position at a time equal to (9/8) of the oscillator's period? c) What is the glider's velocity at a time equal to one-eighth of the oscillator's period? {-0.581 m/s} d) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider? {4.50 m/s^2} e) What is the glider's acceleration at a time equal to one-eighth of the oscillator's period?
